Version 1

Answer Key Test name: Chap 02_11e_ Jacobus 1) B The term "work of art" implies the concept of "making."

2) D Three criteria for determining whether something is a work of art are that (1) the object or event is made by an artist, (2) the object or event is intended to be a work of art by its maker, and (3) recognized experts agree that it is a work of art.<!--Markup Copied from Habitat--> 3) A Artistic form implies that the parts we perceive—for example, line, color, texture, shape, and space in a painting—have been unified for the most profound effect possible. That effect is revelatory. Artistic form reveals, clarifies, enlightens, and gives fresh meaning to something valuable in life, some subject matter. A form that lacks a significant degree of unity is unlikely to accomplish this. Our daily experiences usually are characterized more by disunity than by unity.

4) A In the Prado Museum in Madrid, Goya’s painting continually draws and holds the attention of innumerable viewers, many of whom know little or nothing about the rebellion of 1808. Adams’s photograph is also a powerful image, of course—and probably initially more powerful than the Goya—but the form of the photograph is not strong enough to hold most of us on that image for very long.

5) A

Version 1

The participative experience—the undivided and sustained attention to an object or event that makes us lose our sense of separation from that object or event—is induced by strong or artistic form. Participation is not likely to develop with weak form because weak form tends to allow our attention to wander.

6) B 7) D The artistic form of the painting enriches or interprets its subject matter, says something significant about it. The subject matter of the painting has been transformed by the form.<!--Markup Copied from Habitat--> 8) D 9) A 10) C Lichtenstein reports that he was attracted to the comic strip by its stark simplicity—the blatant primary colors, the ungainly black lines that encircle the shapes, the balloons that isolate the spoken words or thoughts of the characters. He was struck by the apparent inconsistency between the strong emotions of the stories and the highly impersonal, mechanical style in which they were expressed. Despite the crudity of the comic strip, Lichtenstein saw power in the directness of the medium.

Somehow the cartoons mirrored something about ourselves. Lichtenstein set out to clarify what that something was. At first people laughed, as was to be expected.

16) Line in Mondrian’s Broadway Boogie Woogie (Figure 4-9) can also suggest rhythm and movement, especially when used with vibrant colors, which in this painting are intended to echo the neon lights of 1940s Broadway. Mondrian lived and worked for twenty years in Paris, but in 1938, with Nazis threatening war, he moved to London. In 1940, with the war under way, he went to New York. He was particularly attracted to American jazz music. He arrived in New York when the swing bands reached their height of popularity and he used his signature grid style in Broadway Boogie Woogie to interpret jazz visually. The basic structure is a grid of vertical and horizontal yellow lines—and only vertical and horizontal lines. On these lines, and between these lines, Mondrian places patterns of intense blocks of color to suggest the powerful jazz rhythms he loved so much. Even the large “silent” blocks of white imply musical rests.

Answer Key Test name: Chap 06_11e_ Jacobus 1) A 2) C Of the four necessities of architecture, the technical requirements of a building are the most obvious. Revelatory requirements are also crucial, but the technical aspects ensure longevity of a building and its ability to illuminate something significant.

3) A 4) A The Parthenon (see Figure 6-4), because it is on the Acropolis, the highest point in Athens, seems an unlikely candidate for an earthrooted structure, but as we see it now in ruin we perceive a remarkable tendency for it to appear profoundly weighty. The stones that surround the building give us a clue immediately to the density of its stone columns, and the stones of the support of the original roof imply an inevitable yielding to gravity. The horizontal rectangularity of the entablature follows evenly along the plain of the Acropolis with the steady beat of its supporting columns and quiets their upward thrust.

Gravity is accepted and accentuated in this serene stability—the hold of the earth is secure.

"Perhaps Brunelleschi’s dome of the Cathedral of Florence (Figure 6-17) is the most powerful structure ever built in seeming to defy gravity and achieving height in relation to its site. The eight outside ribs spring up to the cupola with tremendous energy, in part because they repeat the spring of the mountains that encircle Florence. The dome, visible from almost everywhere in and around Florence, appears to be precisely centered in the Arno Valley, precisely as high as it should be in order to organize its sky. The world of Florence begins and ends at the still point of this dome of aspiration."

16) Spatial: The term cantilever refers to a structural principle in architecture in which one end of a horizontal form is fixed—usually in a wall—while the other end juts out over space. Steel beam construction makes such forms possible; many modern buildings, like the Guggenheim Museum, have forms extending fluidly into space.Revelatory: The building reveals itself as a museum. What else could it be? In the 1950s Wright's design was revolutionary. We think of it now as a museum, but when it was built it contrasted so sharply with the rectangular boxlike structures near it that people were shocked.

Indeed, this building stands as a work of art partly because its singular design occupies space as a sculpture would. The Guggenheim Museum in New York began an architectural era in which the relationship of form and function began to be called into question.

Answers will vary 17)Earth-rooted: the earth appears as an organic part of the building, seems to "hug to" the earth (e.g., Pantheon), or grow out of the earth (e.g., Wright's Kaufmann house).

Earth-resting does not strongly organize the sky around itself, the earth appears as a stage, avoids curving lines or cantilevering, appears to "sit on" the earth; does not relate to its environment as strongly as earthrooted and sky-oriented architecture. Tends to draw to itself more isolated attention with reference to its shape, articulation of the elements of its walls, lighting, and so on.

What insight into the human soul do you gain from this meditation?

A Noiseless Patient Spider A noiseless patient spider, I mark'd where on a little promontory it stood isolated, Mark'd how to explore the vacant vast surrounding, It launch'd forth filament, filament, filament, out of itself, Ever unreeling them, every tirelessly speeding them.

And you O my soul where you stand, Surrounded, detached, in measureless oceans of space, Ceaselessly musing, venturing, throwing, seeking the spheres to connect them, Till the bridge you will need be form'd, till the ductile anchor hold, Till the gossamer thread you fling catch somewhere, O my soul.

Answer Key Test name: Chap 08_11e_ Jacobus 1) C 2) B 3) D Tragedy, Aristotle tells us, arouses pity and fear and by doing so produces in us a catharsis, a purging of those feelings, wiping out some of the horror. The drama helps us understand the complexities of human nature and the power of our inescapable destinies.<!--Markup Copied from Habitat--> 4) C 5) C 6) C 7) C Plot involves rising action, climax, falling action, and denouement. For Aristotle, the tragic hero quests for truth. The moment of truth—the climax—is called recognition. When the fortune of the protagonist turns from good to bad, the reversal follows. The strongest effect of tragedy occurs when recognition and reversal happen at the same time, as in Sophocles’sOedipus Rex. 8) A 9) C The protagonist, or leading character, in the most powerful tragedies fails not only because of fate, which is a powerful force in Greek thought, but also because of a flaw in character (hamartia), a disregard of human limitations. The protagonist in the best tragedies ironically brings his misfortune upon himself.<!--Markup Copied from Habitat--> Version 1

10) C 11) B 12) A 13) D 14) A 15) C 16)Old Comedy: raucous and coarse. Aristophanes' plays--Plutarch was offended by plays such as The Clouds, The Frogs, The Wasps, and especially Lysistrata, the world’s best-known phallic play, concerning a situation in which the women of a community withhold sex until the men agree not to wage any more war. At one point in the play, the humor centers on the men walking around with enormous erections under their togas. Associated with our modern farce, burlesque, and the broad humor and make-believe violence of slapstick.

New Comedy: everyday Athenian life, Menander's The Flatterer, The Lady from Andros, The Suspicious Man, and The Grouch, his only surviving complete play, concentrated on common situations. Avoided the brutal attacks on individuals. "Comedy of manners"-- drama that satirizes the manners of a society as the basic part of its subject matter.

Suave and subtle.

New Comedy developed type characters, for they helped focus upon the foibles of social behavior. Type characters, such as the gruff and difficult man who turns out to have a heart of gold, the good cop, the bad cop, the ingenue, the finicky person, or the sloppy person—all these work well in comedies.
